The inter-relationships between electrical devices on these trucks is sometimes quite mysterious...... 
Solve one problem at a time. Sometimes, fixing one problem, solves a whole bunch of others as well.
Got a volt/ohm meter? Could pull the relay, disconnect the a/c compressor, and then test the wire, see if it goes directly to ground.

- seriously.Sounds as if you shorted something upon reconnection OR the battery or alternator are bad...circumstantial evidence is evidence of just that

Put a good fuse in, Disconnect the wire going to the compressor coil. Start the truck put the ac on. Then reconnect the compressor coil wire. If the fuse blows you found your problem. The compressor coil has a short.
